Prawo koalicji osób pracujących zarobkowo na własny rachunek po nowelizacji prawa związkowego – szanse i zagrożenia

The subject of the article is to assess the opportunities and threats that are associated with the amendment to the union law in Poland, which has extended the coalition law, until now reserved primarily for employees, to persons engaged in paid work outside the employment relationship, including self-employed, if they provide their services in person and have interests related to the provision of work that can be represented and defended by the trade union. The author, positively assessing the extension of the subjective scope of the coalition law, notices many disadvantages of the analyzed regulations.
